Technical Abstract

Various embodiments provide a wellness tracking device with a base plate that may be utilized as a combination electrode by a variety of sensors. The base plate may be a multi-material electrode that includes a conductor and a transparent or semi-transparent material to enable optical sensing. In certain embodiments, the base plate supports a plurality of different sensors, which may selectively utilize the base plate as an electrode.

Patent Claims
8 claims

Legal claims defining the scope of protection, as filed with the USPTO.

3

3. The system of claim 1, wherein the first sensor comprises a temperature sensor, and wherein the base plate transmits a temperature of at least a portion of the base plate to the temperature sensor.

4

4. The system of claim 1, wherein the base plate is further coupled to at least two sensors, the base plate being an electrode for both of the at least two sensors, wherein at least one of the at least two sensors is utilized for electrocardiogram.

5

5. The system of claim 1, wherein the pane and the base plate are formed from a different material, the pane having a substantially equal coefficient of thermal expansion as the base.

9

9. The system of claim 6, wherein at least one sensor of the plurality of sensors is a temperature sensor, the temperature sensor thermally coupled to the base plate.

10

10. The system of claim 6, wherein the plurality of openings are arranged symmetrically about at least one of a horizontal axis or a vertical axis.

11

11. The system of claim 6, wherein at least one sensor of the plurality of sensors is an optical sensor arranged over at least one opening of the plurality of openings, the optical sensor receiving a signal through the respective pane arranged within the at least one opening.

12

12. The system of claim 6, wherein at least one opening of the plurality of openings is substantially pilled shaped, the at least one openings having a plurality of curved edges.

19

19. The system of claim 1, wherein a depth of a second recess of the plurality of recesses is different than a depth of the first recess.
